You should certainly hold up. East is the Danger hand here because if East ever gets the lead he can play a ♥ through your unprotected ♥K, possibly giving you two ♥ losers. If you take the first trick with the ♣A you open the door for East to gain entry with the ♣K which you know he has. NEXT |

Now it's time to play on ♦s. Do you finesse for the ♦Q? and if so, which way do you finesse? Missing 6 ♦s to the Queen of course you should finesse. And you will finesse through East, of course, because he is the Danger Hand. So play dummy's ♦K, then play the ♦10 and let it ride. Click NEXT to see how your Plan turned out. |

♠ K Q 9 8 4 2 ♥ 8 6 ♦ K 10 2 ♣ 5 3 |
This time East holds the ♦Q and you make an overtrick, winning 4 ♦
tricks and discarding a ♥ loser from dummy.
Another time West will hold the ♦Q and you will make the contract, but no overtrick. Deal 86 |
